Perscriptions...
So, I go to Shoppers to get my perscription refilled. I tell her I've just moved from out of province. She says it wont be a problem. Only time it would be a problem is if I was moving into my ex-Province. Which in my opinion, is NOT cool at all (and quite typical of Ontario).Lets just say I *did* move from out West to Ontario and needed a refill of my pills. So they're telling me I would not get it? Thing is I HAVE to get my pills. Steriods (not sure if all, but at least the ones I'm on) produce something that your body does as well. When one is taking them their body stops producing whatever it is that the steriods have in them... you cannot stop taking them right away, you have to gradually taper dosage. "If you suddenly stop taking prednisone, your body may not have enough natural steroids to function normally. This may cause symptoms such as extreme tiredness, weakness, slowed movements, upset stomach, weight loss, changes in skin color, sores in the mouth, and craving for salt, and may cause death." - source. Anyway, what would someone do if they couldn't get their pills? Silly "rules" or whatever it is that says Ontario can't accept out of province perscriptions.
Which reminds me... Whenever my sister would come visit from Alberta *nowhere* would accept her ID for cigarettes. They would say "sorry, we don't accept out of province ID". Are you guys kidding me?! So *only* those in your province can legally buy smokes, booze, get into bars, etc.? How stupid is that? Have I ONCE heard "sorry, we don't accept out of province ID" here in Alberta? No.
No offence to Ontarioian's (is that how you pluralize it?) but honestly that province has got to drop the "exlusive" act. Ontario isn't the hub of Canada. It isn't the greatest province we've got. Sorry, but it just isn't. Of course, that's just my opinion. Anyone who has lived in Ontario and another province and fequently visited both provinces would notice this attitude . It's not the people!! it's just the way things work and/or are run.
Ok. I'm done my rant.
Bye bye!
